Default AU XR8 S3 idling terribly!

Hi everyone,

my AU XR8 is idling terribly and chewing through alot of fuel!

When the car is left idling for a couple of minutes, the revs drop as low as 2-300rpm and if u giv the accelerater pedal a little stab it drops even lower and sometimes stalls. Also, when it idles in P or N u can smell the fuel being dumped out of the exhaust.

Car has 130,000kms. No mods, just twin 2.5 inch exhaust.

I'm guessing could be leads or something? Coil packs are same from factory..... What about O2 sensors or fuel pump?

Any help would be great! thanks in advance
